Our Company

Have you ever asked yourself, “How many trees does it take to put on a conference?” Over the years, we’ve attended conferences. And we’ve seen how attendees and organizers struggle with the reams of paper, spiral-bound programs, inserts, flyers and other kinds of literature that can be overwhelming to lug around from session to session…and then have to carry it all back home. (If it gets that far.) Most of all, think about the cost of design, printing, binding, and then shipping the materials. That’s why an event mobile app is the best solution.

We’re a team of experienced technology and marketing professionals who deliver an easy-to-use, convenient solution that participants like to use. Since 2010, long before others in our field, we’ve been supplying great event mobile app experiences. See what our clients have to say about us.

Reasons Why AgendaPop is a Popular Event Mobile App Solution

Here’s how we’re different than most mobile event and conference app providers:

1. Clients (the event organizers) tell us that their participants like our intuitive, easy-to-use interface. That means they can find things easily.

2. Our customer service is personal. We don’t hand you off to a person in another country. Your conference app is a reflection of you, and we take that to heart.

3. Support and training is unlimited. Need help? We’re here for you, and we don’t charge by the hour. Plus, we have ample documentation to help you with the back-end publishing tool.

4. We create “branded” mobile apps. That means they have YOUR branding, name, logo, and artwork. Your attendees won’t have to search for our app and then search again for your app on a long list inside; that’s silly and cumbersome.

5. We develop native mobile event apps for the iOS and Android platforms PLUS a web version to use on laptops, desktops, and other mobile device platforms such as Windows.

Our Mission

AgendaPop helps you integrate technology for your conference, to streamline your workflow, save you time, reduce your costs, and give you greater control on setting and updating your agenda. Our goal is to enhance your event, and make the event app useful and memorable to your participants. We accomplish that through our individualized client service, customizable content publishing, and available on-site, at-event support.
